Description Seerfish production from the Indian seas during the past five decades from 1950s to
1990s, showed an increasing trend. The annual catch increased from 4,505 t in
1953 to 54,8761 in 1998. The average annual catch during the five decadal periods
k-aried from 7,278 t in 1950-'59 to 41,575 t in 1990-'99 contributing 1.5% and
1.75% respectively to the total marine fish catch of India. However, the rate of
increase through the successive decades decreased indicating the attainment of op-
;imum level of production currently. During 1950-'59, the east coast contributed
more (60%) than the west coast (40%), which changed to 36:64 during 1990-'99.
iVmong the maritime states of India, Gujarat (25.88%), Maharashtra (16.09%),
familnadu (13.59%), Kerala (13.07%) and Andhra Pradesh (12.68%) were the prime
seerfish producers during 1990-'99. Gill net (64.8%) was the dominant gear, folowed
by trawl (17.4%) and hooks and line (4%) with an average catch rate of 8.1
